 Comment on this model.
This model is a Volkswagen T5 series
and it entered full production in 2003 and the version modelled
here is the pick-up variant.
This model is in the colours of Eurovia, a construction company within the VINCI Group.
Packaging
It is in a Eurovia-branded sleeve and
inside it is held within a plastic display case.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
model.
There is no information about the model or the real
vehicle.
Detail
The T5 is front wheel drive and the floor pan is
detailed with a plastic exhaust system running to the
rear of the vehicle. The rear axle suspension is
modelled well but it is non-functioning. The
wheels are convincing but the tyre design is the same on
both axles.
At the front the VW logo is distinct and the grille and
headlights are good, and there is a realistic number
plate. The door handles are part of the casting
and they are nicely highlighted with paint. There
are two large beacon lights on the roof.
Inside the cab the detail includes a textured floor.
Behind the cab the support bar is plastic as is the
tool box, but it looks good. The pick-up load area
has well detailed sides and at the rear the lights have
plastic lenses.
Features
It rolls well and the steering is good achieving a
realistic angle.
The model can be displayed in its display case, or
removed by unscrewing two securing screws.
Quality
This is a well made model with a sparing and mainly
appropriate use of plastic.
The painting is very good and the Eurovia graphics are sharp.
Price
It is moderate value for a limited edition model.
Overall
Although the functionality is limited this is a good
looking model which poses well with others. The
display case also provides another option.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in
2014 and was available in this livery in October 2014
from the
VINCI webshop. It was
also made in other colours.
